LAMBREQUIN-PIN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 360,555, dated April 5,1857.

Application filed December 27, 1886. Serial No. 222,604. (No model.)

T0 ,aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JULIUS BER'BEOKER, of the city, county, and StateofNew York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inLambrequin-Pins, ofwhich the following is a specification.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements inlambreqniapins, used for suspending lambrequins, &c., from curtain-ringson poles. These pins have heretofore been constructed with a curved hookwhich was passed through the eye ofthe ring, and whenever the curtainsor lambrequins were seized for the purpose of moving them the prongs ofthe hooks were apt to leave the eyes of the rings.

The object of my invention is to prevent this, and to furnish alanibrequiu-pin which is simple in construction and not liable to getout of the eye of the ring.

The invention consists of a lambrequinpin having a hook made withsprings, which can be compressed while passing the hook through the eyeof the rin but having sufficient tension for ordinarily holding the hookin the eye and preventing said hook from being withdrawn from the eyewhile moving or shifting the curtain or lambrequin.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a face view of alanibrequin-pin provided with my improvement. Fig. 2 is a side view ofthe same. Fig. 3 is a face view of another con- Fig. 4 is a struction ofthe lambrequin-pin. side view of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corre sponding parts.

The lambrequiupin A is provided with one or two spring-pin tongues, A,the pointed ends of which are adapted to rest in sockets B, formed bybending the wire of which the pin is made, which pin is provided with acurved hook, O, which can be passed through an eye of a curtain-ring.The two strands of wire forming the hook are curved or bent from eachother to form the spring parts D, the width of the hook being greater atsaid spring portion D than the inside diameter of the eye, so that inorder to pass the hook through the eye said spring parts must be pressedslightly toward each other until they have passed through the eye, whenthey will expand by their spring tension and prevent the removal orwithdrawal of the said hook except by pressing the spring parts D towardeach other, so as to decrease the width ofthe hook at said spring parts.I have shown the spring parts as projecting laterally; but it is evidentthat they may be formed in an y other manner.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Pate11t- As an improved article of manufacture, alambrequin-piu made of a single piece of wire bent to form a spring-pin,and asocket for the same, and also to form an extending hook, the twowire sides of which are bent to have opposite laterally-projectingspring parts for the purpose of retaining the hook in the eye throughwhich it is passed, substantially as shown and described;

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed myname in presence of two subscribing witnesses.

JULIUS BERBEGKER.
